WMFS. Land that big fook off contract and spend the redundancy money on a few treats.
Good luck.

Spot on, they moved the company from London so most of the long timers left of their own accord then out of the blue lost a big contract and transferred the rest out to their so called 'competitor'.

All nice and cosy, lots of money saved.

If I dont know better GJ I'd say you were Wilmslow.

You've had a right bad run. You only took this as you couldn't get a local contract.

Oh well better luck next round.

Don't I saw our corporate KPI's recently. The one associated with unwanted attrition was a lot higher than average, probably no relation to the huge service centre we built in Bobland.

Do you think they knew this was on the horizon when they offered you the permy job? Maybe so the new employers would be able to find a nice cheap resource they could lay off without having to pay them off?

Sounds like you've been well set up there.

For the last 5 months, I figured it would be ok to hang around as I've been looking for a way out from day one.

You a permie then?

[MarillionFan]

Oh yes, NW have been getting half fees.

Looks like 1 month gardening leave so if I manage to land a contract it could work in my favour.

Bob takes another scalp.

Actually I've been on the 'TUPEING' side for the last two contracts.

You'll either be treated as valued resource that they want to look after and transfer in, or a POS on the bottom of their shoe and given notice. If you've only been perm 5 months, there ain't gonna be an redundancy pay.

Kept your Ltd Co. going, did we??

It transpires that being TUPE'd means being transfered and given notice on the same day, great bit of protective legislation that is.

At least TUPE prevented them changing your redundo rights, not that it'll help you after 5 months right enough.....but it COULD have protected you. Bow down and give thanks to the EEC for potentially (but not quite) protecting your rights.

I was Permie once, got a meeting invite, with attached agenda.

Item 6 Welcome transfered resource.

We got to item 6 on the agenda, when I found out it was me.

Got to love IT
